ERIN'S PATRIOT GIRLS.

EhlN'S fAIhlUI GlkLS.
It cheers an Irish exile's heart
Above all other joys,
To act an unpretending part
With comrade Irish boys,
And as we prize that sister link
OF lovely living pearls,
Right CALAMITY we raise to drink.
Green Erin's patriot girls.
Though thoughtless flirts and dainty danes
OF Irish birth or blood,
Look coldly on the hopes and aims,
OF our dear sisterhood,
Well have their sympathy to cheer
The wild geese" through all perils,
Still you are double near and dear,
Green Erin's patriot girls.
Our Celtic mothers hurled the stones
From Limerick's granite walls.
And changed the vassal shout to means;
In Norman robber halls,
They scorned to wed their fathers foes.
Or smiles on shoneen earls,
And such is still the faith of those
Green Erin's patriot girls.
Our last great struggle for the cause,
In glorious '98,
Had woman's fearful, sweet applause,
The piketo stimulate,
And grissets glowed and bullets grew
As fast as flax wheel whirls
The work you're longing now to do,
Green Erin's patriot girls.
v.
With hopeful hearts we pledge once more,
Our gentle sister guests,
We drew our love of Gaelic lore
From Irish mothers breasts,
Then comrades let us proudly toast
These priceless Celtic pearls,
Real shamrock buds, the exiles toast,
Green Erin's patriot girls.

known after-dinner speaker of New
York city, in the course of a recent lee
ture, describing his trip through Ire
land, made use of the following re-
marks: ''After Mr.. Gladstone had
carried the election on the franchise
issue, and felt behind him. the British
democracy, he became another man.
Such marvellous change never before
occurred in a veteran statesman Is
years of age. Hesitancy, feebleness Of
purpose, consideration for adversaries
amounting to weakness, all disap-
peared, and in their place the elements
Of the aggressive, constructive and I'M
compromising reformer became the
main springs Of his action and policy.
The scales fell from his eyes and he
saw the wrongs and remedies of Eng
lish administration for Ireland, and re-
CARELESS of it's effects upon his own po-
litical fortunes or those of his party, he
determined to stake everything upon
giving Home Rule to the Irish. He
saw thus only could peace and prosper
be restored to that unhappy people
and this perpetual menace to the integ-
rity of the British empire removed"
ROSCOE CoNKL1NG's letter to the
meeting which was held in New York
last week to protest against the pro-
posed coercion policy of the Tory Gov
eminent, was a model of common sense.
It ran thus: In heart and judgment I
am in sympathy with the people of Ire
land and wholly against any and every
scheme to trample on their rights. 1t
will be annoying if England, the land
of the Magma Charta; the land of trial
by jury and due process of law; the
land Of eight centuries of parliament;
the land of Westminster hall, shall
now at this stage of the world turn
round and march back towards barbar-
ism. For government to uphold
itself by force against those who would
overthrow it, is one thing; that is the
right Of self-defence but it is a widely
different thing to make laws oppressive
and repugnant to the great majority of
those affected by them, and to violate
the principles of government itself in
order to enforce such laws. Such
proceeding is not a resort to right of
self-defence nor a resort to any other
right. 1t is might brutal might. It
can't be defended by the extremity of
the occasion, still less by the possession
of power. great enough to promise inn
munity to the act. Great Britain may
raise home question of it's own, so
deep and universal is the sentiment of
liberty. That the wisdom of English
men and Scotchmen and Irishmen may
avert all the evils your fear is my ar
dent hope and wish.

A DRUGGISTS COMPACT
Not to Sell a Woman a Postage
Stamp Under Any Circum-

stances.
In downtown drug store yesterday a
GLOBE reporter sat smoking a cigar
that policeman had given him, when a
pretty maid of about nineteen years
growth tripped in through the doorway
and stepping up to the show case smiled
Sweetly and asked the attendant if he
would sell her postage stamp.
The clerk smiled his lOVlieSt smile and
said:
You can get them on the corner of Fifth
and Wabasha streets. We haven't any now
The maiden went out in search of the
corner of Fifth and WabaSha streets,
where she undoubtedly found the post
office. She had been gone but a few
minutes when fat woman, with per-
spiration standing out on her face came
i'll and said to the clerk:
Give me 2-cent postage stamp, will you?''
The clerk smiled again and said: I'VE
haven't got any just out You can find them
on the corner of jackson and Seventh streets"
The fat woman, muttering something
about "what kind of drug store is this,
anyway?" went out and Waddled off in
the direction of jackson and Seventh
streets.
About five minutes after she had gone
man with broad shoulders and cast
in his eye came in and said: -
Johnny, let me have postage stamp, will
yerg'
WI. What do you want, two cent?"
"Why, cert" and the clerk tore off two
cent stamp from broad card of them and
tossed it out to the man, who licked it, put it
on his letter and went out.
YOU'RE a jim dandy" said the reporter to
the clerk after the man had gone.
"Why9'
''Why didn't you give those women stamps
as well as the man and not send them gall
wanting around the country after them?
You amt on, my boy" said he. IF you
had stood behind a showcase in drug store
as long as | have you would do just as did.
Oflate years women have gotin the notion of
going to drug stores after their stamps. They'll
walk right past the postoffice dozen times
day and go to drug store for their stamps.
| suppose they think it undignified to stand
up i'll front of a window in the postotfice in a
crowd and ask for two or three stamps. 1t got
SO that about, half the people. who
and it took one clerk about all
his time to attend to stamp customers, and
the great majority were women Very sell
dom man comes into a drug store to buy a,
stamp. You see, the women call on each
other and set their tongues to running, and
about the first thing they do is to tell each
other where they can get stamps without
going to the post Office, and before druggist
knows it he has a reputation as a stamp
seller. The druggists stood this for good
many years, but few weeks ago they agreed
not to sell woman a postage stamp under
any circumstances. We will sell to men, for
they very seldom come after them.- If Lhad
sold stamps to those women it would have
been all over the city inside of three days
that this was good place TO buy stamps, but
that man will never think TO say a word about
it. You can bet those two women won't
come here for stamps again for long time

In the case of Messer Bros. against
the Minneapolis 81 st. Louis road for
$3.50 damages, Judge Brill has filed a de-
ciSion i'll favor of the defendants. The
plaintiffs alleged that they shipped 800
cases of eggs TO their agents in New
York on March IA, and that they should
have reached their destination March
%, when their market value would have
been 1865, but they were unnecessarily
delayed on the road twelve days, and
when they reached New York they were
worth only $1,305, hence the action.
Brill held that the defendent was not
responsible for any delay caused on any
OF their connecting lines.

story brick block on the corner of Doug

day afternoon to replace some broken
panes in the skylight, and found the
skull and part of the skeleton of mans
body lying on a small piece of carpet
and bleaching in the sun. The
building was built two years
ago and is owned by William
Dawson and covers a three-cornered
piece of ground bounded by Douglass,
Seventh and McBoal streets. The first
floor is occupied by a number of retail
stores, and the second and third are
tenement flats, nearly all occupied. No
one i'll the block knew anything about
the mysterious affair. A trap-doOr from
the hallway in the third floor is the only
entrance to the roof, and near it lay the
rug with its ghastly contents, where
they had evidently been deposited long
ago. They were not removed last night,
and the authorities have not been no
tilted.
